Five Thoughts As Rutgers Looks Ahead To Big Ten Play

It hasn’t been pretty, but Rutgers did what they needed to do in non-conference play. Starting the season as almost four touchdown underdogs against now top ten ranked Washington was simply too big a task for this team and they took an expected loss. No matter how bad that first quarter was in Seattle, it counts as one loss just the same. It was an absolute necessity for Rutgers to complete their schedule before Big Ten conference play with two wins. Although they fell behind to Howard 14-0 and New Mexico 21-0, this team pulled together and won both games.
